"Jazzy pop is te horen op de cd Oh! van de zanger/bassist Will Lee. Het is een verrassend en goed in het gehoor liggend album. De sfeer ademt de betere periode van Toto uit. Georgy Porgy is dan ook een Toto-nummer, herschapen door Lee met invloeden van Marvin Gaye erin verwerkt. Om zich heen heeft Lee voor Oh! prima blazers vergaard, o.a.: Lew Soloff (trompet), Randy Brecker (flügelhorn) en Bob Malach (tenorsaxofoon). Verder verleenden o.a. nog hun medewerking: Don Grolnick (piano/orgel), Bashiri Johnson (percussie) en Jeff Beck (gitaar). Onder de elf nummers op deze cd zijn songs opgenomen als Kissing My Love (Bill Withers), Driftin' (Jimi Hendrix) en My Funny Valentine (Rodgers & Hart). Mooie eigen songs zijn bijvoorbeeld I Know Too Much (About Sadness) (een song over de pijn van het verliezen van vrienden) en Ballad Of Bill And Gretchen (dit lied gaat over twee jongeren die vanaf de schooltijd al decennia bij elkaar zijn)."

"Don't let this band's name fool you: Toph-E & The Pussycats are a group of veteran jazz musicians whose combined resumes include television gigs, Grammy awards, and musician credits from James Brown to Rachel Z. Led by drummer Chris Parker, the group also features bassist Will Lee, piano/keyboard player Clifford Carter, saxophonist David Mann, and percussionist/songwriter Ralph MacDonald. The New York-based group, which was formed in 2000, performs compositions with a heady mix of jazz, R&B and rock music, basing them around a musical philosophy dubbed "R&B-bop." This live recording from the Detroit Jazz Festival shows that they clearly know how to throw a fun and lively party". (All About Jazz)
